Bells are ringing on your alarm clock It's six in the morning, man the race don't stop It's just shit, shower, shave just make it to the station Waiting for the train... goddamn train late again Hit the streets and they are seething Ducking, weaving, begging, stealing Got you kneeling and you're feeling That you wanted more That's how it goes livin' in the city Everybody getting down to the nitty gritty They don't look back, they don't take no pity Hey ya know I never said it would be pretty That's how it goes livin' in the city Everybody getting down to the nitty gritty They don't look back, they don't take no pity Well I get to the office and delete my spam Delete me, delete my plans Working everyday for the goddamn man Sometimes I wonder just who I am Well I'm gonna go postal Gonna have a death toll Be the head hunter Then I'm gonna move coastal Everything's gonna be just fine Working everyday on my gold mine That's how it goes livin' in the city Everybody getting down to the nitty gritty They don't look back, they don't take no pity Hey ya know I never said it would be pretty That's how it goes livin' in the city Everybody getting down to the nitty gritty They don't look back, they don't take no pity That's how it goes livin' in the city Everybody getting down to the nitty gritty They don't look back, they don't take no pity Hey ya know I never said it would be pretty That's how it goes livin' in the city Everybody getting down to the nitty gritty They don't look back, they don't take no pity Hey ya know I never said it would be pretty

Lyrics Bells are ringing on your alarm clock It's six in the morning, man the race don't stop It's just shit, shower, shave Make it to the station Waiting for the train... Goddamn train late again Hit the streets and they are seething Ducking, weaving, begging, stealing Got you kneeling, and you're feeling That you wanted more That's how it goes livin' in the city Everybody getting down to the nitty-gritty They don't look back, they don't take no pity Hey ya know I never said it would be pretty That's how it goes livin' in the city Everybody getting down to the nitty-gritty They don't look back and they don't take no pity Well I get to the office and delete my spam Delete me, delete my plans Working everyday for the goddamn Man Sometimes I wonder just who I am Well I'm gonna go postal Gonna have a death toll Be the headhunter then I'm gonna move coastal Everything gonna be just fine Working everyday on my goldmine That's how it goes livin' in the city Everybody getting down to the nitty-gritty They don't look back, they don't take no pity Hey ya know I never said it would be pretty That's how it goes livin' in the city Everybody getting down to the nitty-gritty They don't look back, don't take no pity That's how it goes livin' in the city Everybody getting down to the nitty-gritty They don't look back, they don't take no pity Hey ya know I never said it would be pretty That's how it goes livin' in the city Everybody getting down to the nitty-gritty They don't look back, they don't take no pity Hey ya know I never said it would be pretty
Its pretty cool how they all know several instruments. The bass guy can play the bass guitar and the double bass, and he can also play the piano. The drummer can play multiple instruments. Its pretty cool really.
omg ur soooooo sick seen u live n gr and u blew my mind ur the reason y i keep on living. i brought 3 really lucky people and they thank me every time i see them
Finally realised where that riff is from (bass part in this song). It's off of "Satisfy Seige" the interlude to"Ragged Mile" from April Uprising. Been driving me mad. That's pretty rad he's done that, turned an old interlude into a full song. Nice.
This. This is how you record awesome music. Just a bunch of great musicians keeping their own time, no messing around with headphones and click tracks, put some good mics in the right spots and off they go.
Pepijn Krijnsen For this particular situation and this type of music, I will agree. Any other studio recording situation and some live situations, I would demand that at the very least the drummer had a click. Especially when branching into other genres. This group is the exception being capable of honing in on each other and playing off each other’s strengths, but they are extremely skilled at their craft and have taken the time a dedication to perfect their performances.
Someone know tell me which guitar is playing john butler in that video? Qualcuno sa dirmi che chitarra sta suonando john butler nel video? Thanks for your music John!
what's up with using the same riff as in the outro to "Johnny's Gone" in the breakdown? Shall we prescribe some deeper existential meaning to such a choice?
